One song beautifully articulates why God deserves all honor, glory and praise.

Most people can likely attest to how God was present and helped them endure a difficult and trying period. God’s promises of love and faithfulness were expressed and carried out during these periods. Those people were witnesses to His faithfulness. 

In the song “I’ve Witnessed It” by Passion and Melodie Malone, the musicians sing about observing God’s goodness and faithfulness in their lives. They have a testimony to share because of God’s work during unpleasant situations. 

In the song’s opening verse, the lyrics state even during a hopeless situation, when “I was lost and all alone,” God could still be found. He was “where I found a home,” the song mentions.

The song’s second verse points out that God is always faithful and ever-present. No matter the situation, God never left. He provided hope.

The song’s chorus adds that because of those difficult circumstances, the musicians have a testimony. They have personally witnessed God at work. They know of His faithfulness and because of that, God deserves all praise, honor and glory.

“I’ve witnessed Your faithfulness
I’ve seen You breathe life again
So, I’ll pour out my praise again”

The song’s chorus also adds that God and his promises have not failed them yet. Again, because of the hardship they experienced, God was able to work in their life, providing them with a testimony to share with others.

The song’s lyrics raise an interesting idea. No one enjoys going through life’s storms. Everyone wishes for them to be vanquished immediately, but what if God uses that time to provide us with a testimony to benefit others who may hear it? What if God uses those periods to demonstrate His love and faithfulness to us?

Deuteronomy 32:4 “He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.”
